Word for the Day: Wednesday, August 29, 2012

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.  Why do we have to work so hard to learn?  Science Fiction mentions taking a pill to learn.  Foreign languages are often taught by "immersion", either short-term (only speaking the language being taught in the classroom), or longer-term (living in a country, using the taught language, for a period of time).  However, there should always be a balance between this and active learning (using tomorrow's Word, "study").
